Summary
Horace Ventimore, a modest architect navigating the bustling streets of post‑war London, discovers an unassuming brass bottle tucked away in a dusty attic. Upon uncorking the relic, a flamboyant genie materializes, offering to fulfill any desire in exchange for emancipation from his centuries‑long confinement. Enthralled, Horace consents, envisioning a cascade of prosperity, romance, and artistic triumph. Yet each granted wish spirals into unintended chaos: a lavish soirée devolves into a slapstick disaster, a promised commission collapses under absurdly literal interpretations, and a tender courtship with a vivacious actress becomes a farcical entanglement of mistaken identities. As the genie’s capricious interventions multiply, Horace confronts the paradox of boundless generosity versus the fragility of human aspiration, ultimately learning that liberation may demand a relinquishment of control rather than its acquisition.
